Why small portions work now
Because these medications reduce appetite, a small amount often satisfies completely. Portion a single serving onto a plate, put the rest away, and eat it slowly. Very large or very greasy desserts (molten cakes, big ice cream sundaes) are the most likely to cause nausea.

Frequently asked questions
Can I eat dessert on Ozempic?
Yes, in small, occasional portions. Choose options with some protein or fiber and eat slowly. Very large, sugary and greasy desserts are the main nausea triggers.
What is the best dessert on GLP-1?
Fruit with Greek yogurt, a couple squares of dark chocolate, or a protein-based treat like protein pudding or ice cream.
Why do sweets make me feel sick now?
Sugar combined with fat digests slowly on top of delayed stomach emptying. Smaller portions and higher-protein, lower-fat options help.
